First Data, TruBeacon Picked for Scooter's Coffee Payments

First Data and TruBeacon have been selected to provide point of sale technology and business-management software for Scooter's Coffee, an Omaha, Neb., chain.

Scooter's will use First Data's Clover mobile point of sale system at most of its 125 stores and at all future stores. Scooter's will also deploy TruBeacon's software for linking data from the payment terminal over a network of multiple retail locations.

"Customers will have the flexibility to pay with their payment method of choice, including the Scooter's gift card or via the Scooter's mobile app," which is still being tested, Clay Cox, Scooter's president, said in an Aug. 6 news release.

TruBeacon's software lets chain stores or franchises handle one-click pricing updates, menu changes and reports for multiple stores. TruBeacon launched an app for the Clover platform in June, shortly after First Data released its midsized Clover Mini terminal.

Scooter's plans to expand to 140 stores in nine states by December.
